HC Deb 15 July 1992 vol 211 c791W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many training and enterprise councils had not had their budgets for 1992–93 finalised by 1 July; and if she will publish a list of those TECs.

Mr. McLoughlin

On 1 July 1992 nine TECs had not signed a contract with the Department and therefore had not had their budgets for 1992–93 finalised. The TECs concerned were:

  • AZTEC
  • Central London TEC
  • City and Inner London North TEC
  • London East TEC
  • North London TEC
  • North West London TEC
  • SOLOTEC
  • South Thames TEC
  • West London TEC

However all these TECs have now indicated their willingness to sign contracts subject only to small points of detail. I anticipate that most of these contracts will be signed in the next few days.
